I’m moving to California on an L1 visa soon. My wife will also be traveling with me. We have the following in mind:

1. She travels to US with me.
2. Applies for the EAD work permit and comes back to India.
3. Resumes her job in India until she actually gets the work permit.
4. Once she get’s the work permit, she quits her job in India, travels back to the US, and tries to find a job there ?

Is this legal ?
